Brilliant by Kappy Trigg

In celebration of more than ten years together, they challenged themselves to create work with a central theme using various mediums: encaustic, oil, acrylic, collage and printmaking. GRID offers “the viewer the opportunity to imagine what’s said, to find what’s hiding and to enjoy what’s implied.” Nancy Worsaam, Artsstage-seattlerage.com

Breia Mallett of The Brush & Mallett, Showing at Venue for the August ArtWalk

Artist Breia Mallett has always had a love for creating and after finding herself constantly making little whimsical cards for her husband, Ryan - they thought it’d be a great idea if they started a card business.

Breia starts her cards with simple hand-drawn images and then scans the image to her computer to digitally create the touches of color that complete the illustrations. All printing is done on their own professional printer at home; then the cards are hand scored, folded, rounded corners trimmed and packaged by hand. Every card is lovingly handled from start to finish. Breia delights in coming up with fun ideas for cards and being able to share her creations with others through her art.

For this month’s artwalk, Breia will be expanding her card collection to include some prints as well as small, original paintings done in acrylic on wood blocks.

Venue Presents the Paintings of Walter Share for the July ArtWalk

Artist Walter Share has been a painter for 35 years. Through his talents with watercolor, oil and acrylic paints as well as digital (drawn on the computer), he creates images of nature and landscape from the places where he has lived and painted including Seattle, Oregon and Alaska. Watercolor, oils and acrylics are his favorite mediums. 

Walter enjoys the soft edges that permit paintings to change with mood and invite imagination to complete the painting. He also appreciates the ease of digital imagery in creating features with crisp lines and colors like silk screens. 

 

 

 

Through his company, WalterColors, he does his own printing for greeting cards, prints and calendars to get the colors just right. At Venue this month, Walter will be expanding his collection of Northwest cards and matted prints, as well as offering some framed and original works in variety of sizes. Walter will also be on hand during Artalk demonstrating his process.
